INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the ICA-110W/ICA-110 Wireless/

Internet Camera, a camera device that can be connected directly

to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network and also supported by the

wireless transmission based on the IEEE 802.11g standard.

Compared to the conventional PC Camera, the ICA-110/ICA-

110W features a built-in CPU and web-based solutions that can

provide a cost-effective solution to transmit real-time high-quality

video images and sounds for monitoring. The ICA-110/ICA-

110W can be managed remotely, accessed and controlled from

any PC/Notebook over the Intranet or Internet via a web browser.

The simple installation procedures and web-based interface allow

you to integrate it into your network easily. With comprehensive

applications supported, the ICA-110/ICA-110W is your best

solution for remote monitor, high quality, and high performance

video images.

Features and Benefits

Simple To Use

The ICA-110/ICA-110W is a standalone system with built-in

CPU requiring no special hardware or software such as PC frame

grabber cards. The ICA-110/ICA-110W supports both ActiveX

mode (for Internet Explorer users) and Java mode (for Internet

Explorer and Netscape Navigator users). Therefore, all that is

required is a web browser software such as Internet Explorer 5.0

or above or Netscape 6.0 or above. Just plug and view the picture

from your ICA-110/ICA-110W with a valid IP Address.

Support Variety of Platforms

The ICA-110/ICA-110W supports TCP/IP networking, SMTP e-

mail, HTTP and other Internet related protocols, and can be

utilized in a mixed operating system environment such as

Windows, UNIX, and Mac. It can be integrated easily into other

www/Intranet applications.

Web Configuration

Applying a standard web browser, the administrator can configure

and manage the ICA-110/ICA-110W directly from its own web

page via the Intranet or Internet. Up to 64 users name and

password are permitted with privilege setting controlled by the

administrator.

9

RS-485 Support

The pin 5 & 6 of the I/O connectors are used for RS-485 data

transmission. You can connect a special featured device (such as

an external camera stand with rotation function) to meet your

needs. When the external device is connected, you could

configure the settings and control the device from the RS485

window of Web Configuration Utility.

Remote Utility

The powerful IPView Pro application allows the administrator to

modify the ICA-110/ICA-110W settings from the remote site via

Intranet or Internet. When new firmware is available, you can

also upgrade remotely over the network for added convenience.

Users are also allowed to monitor the image, and take snapshots.

Broad Range of Applications

With today’s high-speed Internet services, the ICA-110/ICA-

110W can provide the ideal solution for live video images over

the Intranet and Internet for remote monitoring. The ICA-

110/ICA-110W allows remote access from a web browser for live

image viewing and allows administrator to manage and control

the ICA-110/ICA-110W anywhere and any time in the world.

Apply the ICA-110/ICA-110W to monitor various objects and

places such as homes, offices, banks, hospitals, child-care centers,

amusement parks and other varieties of industrial and public

monitoring. The ICA-110/ICA-110W can also be used for

intruder detection; in addition, it can capture still images for

archiving and many more applications.

Physical Description

This section describes the externally visible features of the ICA-

110/ICA-110W.

Front Panel

2. Power LED

1. Link LED

3. Internal MIC

1. Link LED

The Link LED is positioned on the right side of the ICA-

110/ICA-110W’s lens while facing the ICA-110/ICA-110W.

It is located to the left of the Power LED.

A steady ORANGE light confirms that the camera has good

connection to LAN connectivity.

Dependent on the data traffic the LED will begin to flash to

indicate that the Internet Camera is receiving/sending data

from/to the network.

2. Power LED

The Power LED is positioned on the right side of the ICA-

110/ICA-110W’s lens while facing the ICA-110/ICA-110W.

A steady BLUE light confirms that the ICA-110/ICA-110W is

powered on.

3. Internal MIC

The built-in omni-directional microphone allows the camera to

receive sound and voice.

Rear Panel

1. External Antenna

The rotatable external antenna allows you to adjust its position to

obtain the maximum signal.

2. Network Cable Connector

The ICA-110/ICA-110W’s rear panel features an RJ-45 connector

for connections to 10Base-T Ethernet cabling or 100Base-TX

Fast Ethernet cabling (which should be Category 5 twisted-pair

cable). The port supports the N-Way protocol and “Auto-MDIX”

function, allowing the ICA-110/ICA-110W to automatically

detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the network.

3. Reset Button

Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed once, and

Power LED begins to flash.

Factory Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed

continuously for three seconds or when Power LED begins to

14

15

light up. Release the reset button and the Power LED will begin

to flash, indicating the ICA-110/ICA-110W is changing to factory

reset. When factory reset is completed, the SSID is set as “NULL

String” (This default setting will let the ICA-110W connect to

ANY access point on the infrastructure network). The IP address

will also return to the default setting as 192.168.0.20.

4. I/O Connector

The camera provides the I/O connectors on the rear panel (pin 1/2

are for input, pin 3/4 are for output, pin 5/6 are for RS-485),

which provide the physical interface to send and receive digital

signals to a variety of external alarm devices.

5. DC Power Connector

The DC power input connector is located on the ICA-110/ICA-

110W’s rear panel, and is labeled 5VDC with a single jack socket

to supply power to the ICA-110/ICA-110W. Power will be

generated when the power supply is connected to a wall outlet.

INSTALLATION

Attaching the Camera to the Stand

The ICA-110/ICA-110W comes

with a camera stand (optional)

with a swivel ball screw head

that can be attached to the ICA-

110/ICA-110W's bottom screw

hole. Attach the camera stand to

the ICA-110/ICA-110W and

station it for your application.

There are three holes located in

the base of the camera stand

allowing the ICA-110/ICA-

110W to be mounted on the

ceiling or any wall securely.

Connecting the Ethernet cable

Connect an Ethernet cable to

the network cable connector

located on the ICA-110/ICA-

110W’s rear panel, and then

attach it to the network.

Attaching the Power Supply

Attach the external power

supply to the DC power input

connector located on ICA-

110/ICA-110W’s rear panel,

and then connect it to your local

power supply.

TIP: You can confirm power source is supplied from the LED

indicators label Power on the ICA-110/ICA-110W is

illuminated.

SECURITY

To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of

the ICA-110/ICA-110W the Administrator has the exclusive

privilege to access the System Administration for settings and

control requirements to allow users the level of entry and

authorize the privileges for all users. The ICA-110/ICA-110W

supports multi-level password protection and access to the ICA-

110/ICA-110W is strictly restricted to define the user who has a

“User Name” and “User Password” that is assigned by the

Administrator.

The administrator can release a public user name and password so

when remote users access the ICA-110/ICA-110W they will have

the right to view the image transmitted by the ICA-110/ICA-

110W.

NOTE: Since the default settings are Null String, it is highly

recommended to set the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password"

when you are the first time to use the ICA-110/ICA-110W.

Once the ID and Password are defined, only the administrator

has the access to management the ICA-110/ICA-110W. This

procedure should be done as soon as possible since the

security features with the ICA-110/ICA-110W will not be

enabled until the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password" is defined.
